Duck Hunt Zone- Duck, duck, bot!

[AnT]

"Man, just how can you be tired already? Seriously..."

"Oh come on! Incase you didn't notice, I was running for my life from those monster-movie rejects."



Two walking figures were approaching the edge of a lake, where there was nothing but tall swampy grass right in the opening of the forest. One was the young boy, Ikki, mounted on the back of his dirty Medabot, Metabee.

"And I just wrestled with one. You see this bod totaled? What kind of consideration you have for a injured Medabot?"

Ikki scoffed, "Oh please! I gave you some Meda-patches. Besides, Medabots can't feel fatigue."

"Oh really? Like we don't have feelings too?"

[ButlerForLifeNumber2]

Not too far off, in a grassland adjacent to the lake, was a tree. It stood tall above the grass that surrounded it and was abundant in leaves.



Hidden and resting on it's branches, Rokusho sat admiring the healthy green color of the leaves. A flock of ducks flying by above him caught his attention and they stopped to rest too in the tree. About a dozen or more roosted on the tree top and some even on Rokusho's antennas. A bit bothered, he simply sighed and allowed them to sit.

But--!

BANG! BANG!

There was the terrifying bellow of a gun shot that echoed across the zone . The birds shattered into the sky while those who were less fortunate dropped to the ground. Rokusho couldn't help but stand up in shock. He first looked towards the sound and then down to the ground.

BANG! BANG!

Another shot was fired to at the tree, an extra bullet meant for anything that remained. Rokusho felt a hot rush in his chest and saw a deep hole in it. The bullet had pierced the metal chest palate and perhaps damaged some wiring it protected. But as this information reached his head, he lost all feeling and fell out of the tree. CLANK!

Nearby, a dog sniffed its way to the ducks and the robot shot down. It barked loudly in bemusement, never had his master shot a robot before!

[AnT]

BANG BANG!!!

"AAAHHH!!!" the frightening sounds made the young boy dive off his Medabot and duck for cover. Shaking he did, as Ikki hid there, hoping the shots won't lead to him. "W-w-what was that?"

"Hey, I thought I saw someone fall out of a tree down there!" Metabee aimed his finger at the said tree in the distance down the field of grass.

"You wanna go down there, where there could be a serial killer there? No thanks!"

"Get a grip! I think I know what that dead body was! Come on!" without a moment to lose, Metabee raced off at the scene.

"Metabee! Wait!" Ikki cried, sprinting off the floor, after his Medabot. Ikki kept his head covered as he ran behind his curious robot. He had no idea if some killer was trying to kill them or---

"AAAHH!!!" and he jumped over a dead duck. Well, that explains it; someone was shooting ducks, not them. But still, it's too dangerous to be out here in shooting range...

"NO WAY!!!" Metabee cried, which he then ran off for the tree.

Ikki gawked, surprised as well at the body near the dog. "It's....ROKUSHO!!!"

Charing at the dog, Metabee aimed his cannons at the canine. "Hey, Benji! Get away from that bot! He ain't a chew toy!"

[ButlerForLifeNumber2]

The dog began to bark at Ikki and Metabee as they approached. It stopped as soon as Metabee aimed at it with his cannon. "Yap!" it cried before running away from the scene and back to it's master.



Rokusho laid on the grass motionlessly, but he flinched when he heard his name exclaimed. He turned his head slowly and muttered, "I-Ikki?" He turned to Metabee, "-And Metabee...?" He closed his eyes tightly and rose up asking, "What's going on? How long was I ou-ARGH!"

His hand flew to his chest and grasped it hard. He looked down and saw the small hole. "Now I remember..." he told them struggling, "I-I was shot down..." He stuck a side of his chanbara sword into the hole and moved it a bit. He removed it and bent over. A small bullet fell between his legs.

"Now I got that out of my system, but it doesn't repair any circuitry," he said with some disappointment in his voice. He was placing his finger gingerly on the hole when another pain struck him in the chest. "RRRRH!" He hunched over with both hands on his chest plate. He quickly tilted his head up at Ikki and Metabee to reassure them. "I-I'm sure its nothing serious!!"

[AnT]

Ikki scoffed as he fished for something in his pockets. "Nothing serious? So says the chest."

Metabee shook his head, looking at Rokusho, "Wooo, yeah I seen Crosserdog get brutally whipped in a Ro-Battle as bad as that."

Ikki pulled out some type of bandage patch. "Here, a Meda-Patch should help with the wound."

[ButlerForLifeNumber2]

Rokusho took the patch and placed it over the hole. He rubbed his finger on it to make it stick on to him. "Thank you, Ikki," he said as he did this. He got up and staggered a little, but he was able to get on his feet. He dusted his knees quickly and looked Metabee up and down.

"Metabee? Why are you covered in filth? What have you been doing out here?" he asked. There was a mix of annoyance and concern in his voice. He moved in between Ikki and Metabee while walking past them. He had his arms folded, "Is this how you take care of your medabot, Ikki?" He stumbled, "I appreciate your help, but I would prefer your main focus be on him than on me..."

[AnT]

Ikki hates it when people gets the wrong idea about his responsibilities as a Meda-fighter. "Look! His body was supposed to be cleaned at a place in Space Colony Navi."

Metabee glared up at Ikki, "Oooh, so you HAD to pull my body out before they were gonna give it the Meda-beautiful wax?"

Ikki glared back at the short bot. "You mean me being chased by B-movie monster wasn't an emergency?" Sighing, and calming down, Ikki went back to Rokusho. "Look, one minute we were there on a field trip in Navi, and the next, I'm here running from giant bees and fighting a giant rock monster. I wanna know what's going on and where are we."

Incase you're asking, Space Colony Navi is a large colony in Earth orbit, designed to home millions of people, and avoid overpopulation; a first step to colonize across the stars. Not only that, the colony stand on the Meda-Satellite that handles transportation that warps Medabot parts anywhere.

Wigglytuff was walking through the area. They had set out earlier that day in search of apples. If their mission came up short, he would run out of apples soon and if that happened...he tried not to think about it. He still had one left. The balloon Pok?mon paused when he noticed something off in the distance. It was a tree!

"Chatot!" He exclaimed and pointed at it. "I think we've reached our destination ♪!" He rushed up to the tree happily. When he got there, he saw these strange being and automatically assumed that they were other Pok?mon even though he had never seen something like them before. "Hello! Friends♪! Friends♪! What are your names, friends♪?" Of course, since the medabots weren't Pok?mon all they would hear coming out of the guildmaster's mouth was variations of and the word "Wigglytuff."

[ButlerForLifeNumber2]

Rukusho sighed and looked out to the horizon. "I've been wondering the same thing," he told them, "I apologize for not being able to provide you with an answer..." He looked down at the duck corpses and flinched. "What a waste..." he said under his deep breath, "The best thing to do in this situation to find out just where we are, and that means finding the duck hunter." He began to walk out into the direction the bullets where shot. "We shouldn't worry about it too much either, I'm sure he didn't intend to shoot me. They are an important key to navigating around this world..."



"Guildmaster! Please wait! My wings can carry me only so fast!" Chatot panted and pleaded. He and Wigglytuff had been exploring Apple Woods, and had been transported by what appeared to be a normal staircase in the forest. The last thing Chatot knew, they were in a totally different place. He was concerned that the guildmaster hadn't noticed just yet.

When he was close enough he landed and began to move on his feet. He scurried to Wigglytuff's side, grabbing on to his stubby arms for support.

"SQUAAAAWK!! You know I hate when you run off like that, sir! This isn't Apple Woods! You could've been seriously hurt! ESPECIALLY by those scary looking Steel Pokémon! You know how much defense they have!! " He quickly hopped in front of Wigglytuff to protect him from anything the "Pokémon" might throw at him.


He turned to the tree and looked up. Sadly this forest didn't appear to have any apples. GULP! He isn't gonna like this! he thought. He noticed Ikki standing by Metabee and used them to catch Wigglytuff's attention.

"L-look, guildmaster!" Chatot exclaimed, "They have a Pokémon Trainer! Perhaps they would know the way out of here! Maybe they'll even share some supplies!" He hopped to Ikki slowly with caution. "This kid looks too nice to be an evil Pokémon trainer, huh?"

"Chatot! Ch-chatot!" was what his greeting sounded like.



Rokusho turned and looked back at Ikki and Metabee when he heard loud squawking. "What's a parrot doing in a duck field?" he simply stated shaking his head. He took a few steps toward Wigglytuff, "This world has awfully strange animals..." He paused to think for a moment. "We should take them with us...as you can see (he brushed his chest plate) its not too safe out here, especially for a bird...!"

[AnT]

But when Ikki noticed the Jiggletuff...he couldn't close his eyes. "Okay, it's official...I did eat Erika's cooking. Metabee...can you shoot me? Maybe I'll wake up."

"I'm a Medabot; we don't hallucinate."

Indeed this world has weird animals...but then again, Ikki wasn't really aware that he was in another world until Rokusho mentioned it. This was ridicules and hopeless. If he is in another world, then they may never get home. But maybe Rokusho was onto something about finding the hunter. Besides, these creatures don't seem to be helpful, even though they seem friendly, but no, they're not really helpful if they can't speak other than one word, which probably could be their names.

But Rokusho does have some point. He rather not see dead forms of these weird things.

"Alright...come on, guys. Let's go find that hunter." he sighed, walking off.

Metabee ran after him. "Yeah, there's just too much weird around a Medabot can't take."

[mrfancypants]

"Not Apple Woods.....?" Wigglytuff asked and it was at that moment he looked up at the tree to see that it did not carry any apples. And if they weren't in Apple Woods anymore, then where were they? They might not make it back to the guild, and that's where he left his last perfect apple.


"guh....wa...waaah" His lips quivered and his eyes started watering. His ears flattened against his skull and the tree branches and blades of glass started to move. At first, one might think that the wind was going through but on closer inspection one would realize that only the area around Wigglytuff was moving. And it shook more violently as the Pok?mon got closer and closer to crying.

[AnT]

The yellow bot took a look around, noticing the waving of the trees and the grass. "Looks like winds are blowing. Better skid-daddle then."

"That's weird..." Ikki wiggled his fingers, trying to feel the wind. There was none. But then, what could be moving the grass and branches. Or at least, cool breeze. It felt a little warm, like someone turned on the heater. He also noticed the grass and branches waving in different directions, almost in a circle around them.

And Ikki followed the source of it, to the pink Pok?mon. "What the...?"

[mrfancypants]

The tears were just about going to start flowing when something fell out of the treasure bag and rolled at Wigglytuff's feet. It was none other than his perfect apple!


As soon as he noticed it the tree and the grass ceased to move and his ears perked up."Look! It's a Perfect Apple~! Where did it come from?" He picked it up and happily put it on his head. "I guess it doesn't matter as long as I have it!" He bounced towards and around Ikki, Metabee, and Rokusho , as if he were showing off the apple he had "found."

[ButlerForLifeNumber2]

Chatot couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and embarrassment. "Well done, sir," he told Wigglytuff.



Rokusho felt the blades of grass brush against his feet, then suddenly stop. His eyes followed Wigglytuff as it danced around. "This creature seems to be more power than it looks," he said with bewilderment in his voice. He shook his head a little, as if he snapped out of some sort of trance, and said, "Lets try to keep on his good side, huh?"



Chatot took a few hops forward before taking flight again. "These Pok?mon seem to mean no harm," he told Wigglytuff looking down at him, "They'll most likely lead us to civilization!" Just to make sure, Chatot used Fly and flew high up into the sky. He was able to see what was ahead, beyond the plains.

BANG! BANG!

Another two shots were fired at what appeared to be a duck in the air. Chatot was hit with a loud "SQUAWK!" and a rustle sound from the grass could be heard when he landed in the tall grass.

[AnT]

Ikki took one good look at the pink Pok?mon. "Rokusho, are you sure its a 'he'?"

Metabee rubbed his metal chin, "Unless it follows the word that pink is the new-"

BANG! BANG!!

Once again, the frightening thunders of guns made Ikki leap off his feet. "LET'S JUST GET OUT OF HERE!!!" and he wasted no time to run, ducking under the tall grass as he ran.

"RUN AWAY!!!" Metabee followed suit; making no effort to run under the grass, since they were taller than him.
